The Canucks have also signed free agent defenceman Michael Funk to a 1 year, two-way contract. He has had a few concussions (2) and post concussion syndrome this year. He was supposed to become Buffalo's RFA this summer, but they chose not to offer him a contract. Funk had interest also from Calgary and Ottawa, but this home town boy (from Abbotsford) chose to sign a contract with the Canucks
